Britt Caron

I have an MA in Counselling Psychology. Prior to this, my educational background includes a diploma in Child and Youth Work, a BA in International Development Studies, and graduate courses in Community Economic Development. Over the last fifteen years, I have worked with a diverse group of people: youth and families, elders, young women and trans people, as well as in broader community initiatives. I continue to be active in community organizing, mutual aid and as a board member for a not for profit. This work, and my activism has taught me much about the human experience and has helped shape me into the therapist I am today. I operate from a feminist, anti-racist and class conscious perspective with the goal of fostering agency, accountability and well being in individuals who want to be agents of change in their lives and in the world around them. I also strive to provide an outlet for the fear, sadness and rage that comes from bearing witness to and being the victim of systemic injustice and violence. I recognize that systemic issues will not be remedied through individual solutions, and make space for the contradictions that exist in this work. I offer a non-pathologizing approach to mental health that considers the individual, relational, material and systemic conditions of my clients lives. My goal, as a therapist, is to provide a space where healing, growth and connection can occur. I love working with clients who are seeking meaning in their lives, who want to act but don't know where to start.
